We were looking for something different to do this time while we were in Mackinaw City. We stopped by the ticket office and the very friendly lady working sold us right away. So glad we decided to take this cruise. The boat, captain, views and staff were Amazing! We had a great time cruising under the bridge and hearing some history we didn't know. There were two older ladies that went on our cruise with us. One of then needed some assistance getting on and off the boat and my boyfriend and I were more than happy to help them. The staff thanked us many times and gave us a nice little gift as an extra thank you. We didn't need anything for helping but it made us feel very good. Take the time to support this local business. Great people! Two thumbs up for everyone at The Ugly Anne!!

Thanks for the great review and for helping out with the ladies getting on and off. We have been very lucky to have such kind people coming on our cruises, and you two were an example of that. Hope to see you again Capt Chris

This is one of those tours you may overlook during your stay in Mackinaw City but DON'T!!! We did a lot of things while we were visiting there and by far this was the best time we had during our trip. Everyone at Ugly Anne goes out of their way to be sure you enjoy your cruise and they are the friendliest people you will meet. We did the Sunset Cruise to the bridge and it was awesome and very informative on the history of the bridge. They take their time so you can get all the pictures you want and answer all your questions. Our hats are off to the crew at Ugly Anne for a great time and making us feel so welcome....you aren't just another visitor there....they treat you like friends! Thanks for the great time!
